Finding the Right Serveware, Ceramics, Silver And Glass for You
Your dining room table is a place where stories are shared and personalities shine — why not treat yourself and your guests to the finest antique and vintage glass, silver, ceramics and serveware for your meals?
Just like the people who sit around your table, your serveware has its own stories and will help you create new memories with your friends and loved ones. From ceramic pottery to glass vases, set your table with serving pieces that add even more personality, color and texture to your dining experience.
Invite serveware from around the world to join your table settings. For special occasions, dress up your plates with a striking Imari charger from 19th-century Japan or incorporate Richard Ginori’s Italian porcelain plates into your dining experience. Celebrate the English ritual of afternoon tea with a Japanese tea set and an antique Victorian kettle. No matter how big or small your dining area is, there is room for the stories of many cultures and varied histories, and there are plenty of ways to add pizzazz to your meals.
Add different textures and colors to your table with dinner plates and pitchers of ceramic and silver or a porcelain lidded tureen, a serving dish with side handles that is often used for soups. Although porcelain and ceramic are both made in a kiln, porcelain is made with more refined clay and is more durable than ceramic because it is denser. The latter is ideal for statement pieces — your tall mid-century modern ceramic vase is a guaranteed conversation starter. And while your earthenware or stoneware is maybe better suited to everyday lunches as opposed to the fine bone china you’ve reserved for a holiday meal, handcrafted studio pottery coffee mugs can still be a rich expression of your personal style.
“My motto is ‘Have fun with it,’” says author and celebrated hostess Stephanie Booth Shafran. “It’s yin and yang, high and low, Crate & Barrel with Christofle silver. I like to mix it up — sometimes in the dining room, sometimes on the kitchen banquette, sometimes in the loggia. It transports your guests and makes them feel more comfortable and relaxed.”
Introduce elegance at supper with silver, such as a platter from celebrated Massachusetts silversmith manufacturer Reed and Barton or a regal copper-finish flatware set designed by International Silver Company, another New England company that was incorporated in Meriden, Connecticut, in 1898. By then, Meriden had already earned the nickname “Silver City” for its position as a major hub of silver manufacturing.
At the bar, try a vintage wine cooler to keep bottles cool before serving or an Art Deco decanter and whiskey set for after-dinner drinks — there are many possibilities and no wrong answers for tableware, barware and serveware. Explore an expansive collection of antique and vintage glass, ceramics, silver and serveware today on 1stDibs.
Questions About Silver Spoon Warmer
- What does Silver Spoon mean?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021In English-speaking countries, a silver spoon is typically a symbol of wealth. The common phrase, “born with a silver spoon in their mouth” refers to someone born into wealth.
- What is the rarest silver spoon?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A silver spoon made by Paul Revere Jr. sold in auction in Dallas, Texas in 2001 for a record-setting price of $32,500 —the highest amount paid for an American silver spoon at this time. Shop a range of antique and vintage silver spoons on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A sterling silver spoon is mostly fine silver, but not quite solid silver. Sterling silver is an alloyed form of silver, and is 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% copper. You can shop a collection of authentic sterling silver items from some of the worlds top dealers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021In order to tell whether silverware is real silver, buff the utensil with a non-abrasive soft white cloth and if the silver is real it will leave a slight black mark from tarnish.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To tell if a silver spoon is an antique, seek the assistance of a licensed and experienced appraiser. Many antique pieces lack marks, and it is generally not possible to determine the type and age of metal through a simple visual inspection. Shop a collection of expertly vetted antique silver spoons on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021How much a solid silver spoon is worth will depend upon what silver is worth per ounce at any given moment — likely between $22 and $25 per ounce — as well as other factors. With respect to sterling silver, what a sterling spoon is worth will depend on condition as well as rarity, age, design quality and more. Sterling silver spoons are sold for anywhere from $5 to $2,500. It’s a broad range! Find a collection of antique and vintage sterling spoons on 1stDibs today.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024Yes, some silver-plated spoons may be worth something. Generally, any value from silver-plated flatware comes from its maker, pattern and style rather than from its materials. The reason for this is that silver plate is predominantly base metal and features just a thin layer of genuine silver, which may not be suitable salvage. To learn how much your pieces may be worth, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Explore a range of spoons and other flatware on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021How much a silver serving spoon is worth would depend on if it is made of pure sterling silver or is silver plated. A great way to differentiate between the two is to look for a mark that identifies objects that are made of sterling silver. Sterling silverware made in the United States after roughly the 1850s will carry a marking: either “Sterling” or “925.” Silver-plated spoons can be worth up to $15 and a sterling silver spoon is worth more. Find a collection of antique and vintage silverware on 1stDibs.
